HARWOOD SKIPPED.
John W. Harwood, a resident of the
Lower Sioux Agency, has been miss
ing for the past three weeks, and no
one appears to know anything regard
ing his whereabouts. He quietly left
his family, without even saying good
bye to them, and departed for o her
climes, or committed suicide.
Mr. Harwood has lieen heavily in
volved during his many years resi
dence in this county, and recently lost
his farm,since which time he has been
residing on rented land, and barely
ekeing out a livelihood for himself
and family, consisting of a wife and
ten children, the youngest only eight
years old. His creditor^ have been
pressing him very hard of late, and
this became tiresome. He is now sup
posed to be where they will be unable
to find him. ,f J",

IN THE. METROPOLIS.
CITIZENS OF NEW YGftX MA/JNG
PLANS FOB THE FUTURE,^
Improvement* on nGicantle Scale Pr^'pi't-
6
The fact is that New York is a city of
markets, of ships, of shops, of hotels aud
of tenement houses, but not of homes.
The rich men may have mansions here,
but their homes are in their country
houses. The people who live in flats and
tenement houses ai engaged in a strug
gle for a bare existence, and have not the
time or disposition to give much thought
or care for the city. The diversity of
races and languages represented in the
population serves only to separate the
people iraore and make them regard the
city with utter indifference.
But there is reason for believing that
this state of things is gradually growing
better. There are evidences of increased
public spirit, of a greater pride in the
city and of a larger interest in her de
velopment and improvement. Great
schemes of public improvement have
been projected or begun. Millions have
recently been expended in the acquisi
tion of new parks, and twice lately when
it was proposed to do something that
would injure Central park there was an
exhibition of aroused public opinion that
prevented the outrages and would have
done credit to a much smaller but more
enthusiastic city.
Rich men are now contributing a lib
eral portion of their wealth to enter
prises that will increase the glory of the
metropolis. Columbia college is being
rapidly developed into a great universi
ty. A magnificent cathedral has been
started. A spacious botanical garden is
to be established. Afine aquarium is to
take the place of Castle Garden on the
Battery. A splendid speedway for horses
is to be built. The city is to erect an
immense municipal building, which it is
proposed shall be a notable architectural
addition to the metropolis. The present
city hall is to be given to the trustees of
the Tildeu trust and made the home of a
$2,000,000 library.
The art and natural history museums
are being rapidly developed and will
soon take rank among the best in the
world. Monuments and statues are being
multiplied, and eight years after his
death the $500,000 tomb of General Grant
is approaching completion^
But in other and perhaps more inter
esting ways is the revival of public spirit
in New York being manifested. Busi
ness men are showing an increased inter
est in the good government of tbe city
and in its improvement in little things
as well as great. Other cities might in
deed copy with advantage some of the
methods of the organizations that have
been formed here for the public weal.
The City l.nproveinent society has
been forme 1 and has started out to in
vestigate the various complaints of citi
zens and to secure, if possible, better
pavements, better street cleaning and
similar improvements in parks, bridges
and streets of the city. Lately a munic
ipal art society has been organized by
leading artists, architects and others,
with a view of making the city more
beautiful. They seek to improve the ar
chitecture of the public buildings, to se
cure artistic decoration within them and
to prevent the erection of inferior stat
ues and other inartistic structures. An
other society is engaged in marking with
bronze tablets the places of historical
interest. Others of a more philanthrop
ical nature are endeavoring to bettor the
lives and condition of the tenement house
population.
The women have organized a health
protective association, and are endeavor
ing to institute reforms that shall de
crease the death rate and make New
York a better city to live in. The latest
reform which they have taken up is that
of securing a health regulation requiring
the removal of the refuse of the 60,000
horses in the city of New York. The
physicians comprising the Academy of
Medicine have lately been acting with
vigor and courage to secure improved
quarantine protection and a purified wa
ter supply. The chamber of commerce
and the board of trade—the mouthpieces
of the merchants and bankers—have late
ly exhibited increased activity and exer
cised a wider influence. All these things
certainly indicate that New Yorkers are
beginning to wake up and to show a
livelier interest in the welfare of the city.
Perhaps the fact that other cities are
getting closer to her in the competition
for business has something to do with
this. It is beginning to dawn upon her
citizens that unless she tan unite with
Brooklyn, bridge and tunnel the North
river, throw more bridges over the East
river, get rapid transit from city hall to
Westchester county and institute other
measures of public improvement, she is
liable to lose her commercial supremacy.

Much has been said from time to time
of the absence of public spirit, of local
pride and of neighborhood feeling in
New York. Even the men who have
made great fortunes here do not seem to
have any regard for the city that has
given them their opportunities for
achieving wealth. "Men do not under
stand the causes of their success," said a
speaker of the board of trade recently in
commenting upon the difficulty in arous
ing public interest herein the movement
for the improvement of the Erie canal,
on which so much of the prosperity of
the city depends. The lack of public
spirit was signally illustrated in the half
hearted way in which the business m*»n
entered into the movement to secure the
World's fair for New York. Chicago
was a blaze of enthusiasm on the sub
ject, but New York entered into the
competition in a listless, don't care sort
of way, wjhich naturally resulted in Chi
cago carrying off the prize.

Took a Ltttlt
Activn ExerciMs on Horseback.
••I ouce was a sufferer from insomnia."
said a dentist who "lives in oue cf the
smr.il villages of the state, as he rot talk
ing with other men in the sitting room
of an up town hotel, "bat I got rid of nae
trouble."
"What did you take for it?"
"Bucking pony."
"Tell us about that, please."
"Well, you see, there was nothing the
matter with me only I couldn't sleep.
The doctor looked me over and said .1
wasn't suffering Hj^om any disease that
he could detect, but ML the same I could
get only a few catnaps every night, and
I felt that I would go crazy if such a con
dition of affairs continued much longer.
A wise friend of mine advised me to try
horseback exercise. Just at that time a
man had brought to the village a string
of ponies from t' *est. As the ponies
were wild they .^re offered for sale
cheap. I bought one. He was such a
sleepy looking animal that we called him
Rip Van Winkle. After we knew him
better we dropped part of the name and
called him plain Rip. The firstfriue i
took on him furnished excitement for t~e
whole village. Two men helpeJ me to
saddle and mount tiirn in the stable
When the door was opened he shot out
into the street like a streak of ligluning.
"He ran full against the fence opijosite
the stable and broke several pickets.
Then he reared up on his hind legs and
came near throwing me over backward.
Next he tried to stand on his head, but
I yanked him back on his feet and drove
the spurs into him. He started to run
then, and I let him go as fast as he could
leg it until we got to the Methodist
church at the end of the street. A tem
perance meeting was being held in the
church and the door was open. Before 1
could stop the pony we were in the
church and half way np the aisle. Wom
en screamed and fainted.
"Some of the men led Rip back into the
street. I didn't dare to get off his back.
When the men let go of the bridle he be
gan to buck, and for a few minutes 1
thought my neck would be broken. He
would go at a gallop when he went at
all, but be would stop now and then to
indulge in some bucking. Presently he
changed his tactics and went from one
street to another, across lots, jumping
fences, turning up flower beds, damaging
gardens and keeping me busy dodging
the branches df fruit trees. The next
street led to a turnpike, along which I
spurred iniu for miles until he was cov
ered with foam and nearly tired out.
"He sc.e:ufcd to be docile when I got
him bac.£ to t.:^ stable. Next day, how
ever, he \i\-d nearly as bad. as when 1
first rode him, and every day for a fort
night I was obliged to race him along the
turnpike several miles. My! my I How
he did buck! I was so lame at the end of
two weeks that I could scarcely walk to
iny office, but I could sleep. A few min
utes after I got into bed at night I was
sleeping soundly, and I awolie every
morning thoroughly refreshed."
"Do you still ride the pony?''
"No. Ey the time I was cured of sleep
lessness I had broken Rip to ride, and I
sold him for double the sum I had paid
for him. My advice to anybody who is
suffering from insomnia i3 to get a back
ing pony an. ride as fast as he can. If
no necks are broken, both man and pony
will be benefited by the treatnwBt,"*
New York Tribune.
To Remove Substances From the Eye.
To remove the solid particles from un
i der the lids, it is sufficient to pull the lid
i away from the eye and to wipe the boly
with a piece of moist paper or the corner
of a handkerchief. If it is under the up
per lid, grasp the lid firmly between the
1
thumb and finger, lift it from the eye
ball and draw it down over the lower
1 lil, and then allow it to slide slowly
I back to its natural position. The foreign
body will be scraped off on the lashes.
The operation may be repeated several
times. Or lift the lid from the eyeball,
allow the tears to accumulate beneath
the lid and forcibly blow the nose. Or
place in the eye a few grains of flaxseed,
which, forming a mucilage, will prompt
ly bring relief. Or place across the up
per lid the point of a pencil or bodkin,
and turn the lid back over it. In this
way the foreign particle is brought into
distinct view and can be readily wiped
away.—Washington Star.
A Loo Underground Canal.
The canal between Worsley and St.
Helena in north England is probably the
longest and most remarkable canal of
the kind in the world. It is IS miles
long and is underground from one end
to the other, Many years ago the man
agers of the Duke of Bridge water's es
tate filled its old mines with water that
they might transport the coal under
ground instead of on the surface. Ordi
nary canalboats are used, the power be
ing furnished by the men. The tunnel
arch over the canal is provided with
cross pieces, and the men propel the
boats along as they lie on their backs oa
the loads of coal.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Adam's Staff.
The Talmudic writers tell us that "the
blessed God gave to the first man in par
adise a staff which had been created be
tween the stars. Adam gave it to Enoch,
Enoch to Noah, Noah to Shem, Shemto
Abraham, Abraham to Isaac, Isaac to
Jacob. Jacob carried it into Egypt and
gave it to his son Joseph. When Joseph
died his household goods were taken to
the house of Pharaoh. Pharaoh took the
staff of Adam, which had descended to
Joseph from the first man, and put it
among his special treasures.
